“···I can’t believe it.”

“What?”

“Are you asking because you don’t know?”

“I’m asking because I don’t know.”

How about saying that?

There was a deep smile in his old, gray voice that reminded him of an old man.

It’s as if he’s saying that this situation is so interesting that he can’t bear it.

The man who spoke for the first time reflexively gritted his teeth at the attitude of the old man, or rather the thing wearing the mask of an old man, but he quickly recovered his original attitude.

That’s because he already knew.

There is no point in getting angry here.

The ‘thing’ that was now in front of his eyes was something that was designed that way from the beginning.

A monster who cares more about humans than anyone else, but doesn’t really know the human heart.

There would be nothing more foolish than begging for understanding from such a being.

“I thought it was a force that could never be defeated… but I don’t know how it happened.”

“Kkeokkkeok… There is no such thing as absolute in this world. You probably still don’t know that obvious truth, right?”

Of course… I know.

Since no one knows when and where what will happen, he knows that even if he has a plan that is close to perfect, it may end up failing in the end…

Nevertheless, he was confident that this plan would succeed.

That was the case until the incontinence engraved on the ring I was wearing on my right index finger became even darker.

What about the entities called the 1st Magic Army in the plan he set in the first place?

In terms of dominoes, it was closer to the second or third block.

Did he finally move his hand and push the first block over?

Even if the dominoes stopped midway through, it should have proceeded smoothly up to that point.

However, rather than succeeding in eliminating the 1st Magic Army, it ended up failing even though Hanoi was forced to put in a force that could be said to be excessive in some ways.

Was the force pushed into Hanoi too much?

So is that why it ended up failing?

It was so bad that I even had such absurd thoughts.

“If possible, I would like to find out what happened there.”

“I’m also curious about that part. Unfortunately, the body sent there was destroyed early, so there is nothing left to salvage.”

“Maybe the 1st Magic Army was stronger than I thought.”

“Well, I guess you know that better than me.”

It was painful that I couldn’t deny those words.

As he said, while preparing this plan, he invested a lot of effort into understanding the power of the ‘Magic Corps’, which can be said to be the main force of the Magic Tower Alliance, and in the meantime, what he paid particular attention to was the ability of the 1st Magic Corps. Because it was only to a certain extent.

‘Of course, since they are considered the most elite within the Magic Tower Alliance, each of them will have some hidden tricks…’

What kind of military force did he dispatch to Hanoi in the first place?

It was close to a move that was carried out with even that unclear possibility in mind.

Even taking that into account, it means that they put in an amount of power that could be called excessive.

But what a failure.

“You never know. The cause of failure may lie elsewhere.”

“Somewhere else?”

“Wizards weren’t the only ones in Hanoi, right?”

“Are you really talking about the martial arts people or something?”

That much was true, he knew it.

Nevertheless, the reason why they did not even consider the existence of martial people in the first place is simple.

From his perspective, the martial people were no different from primitive people who had just learned how to use tools.

What do you think?

The same goes for wizards.

After all, what about the energy called Mana, which is the foundation of this world?

It had infinite possibilities.

But the only thing you can do by accepting that into your body is to swing your sword, fist, or foot a little faster.

If you don’t call such foolish things primitive, what else can you call them?

“You’re not being serious, right?”

“···Hmm, I am saying this plainly, but please do not be too dismissive of those who are called martial people. In any field, there are bound to be people called geniuses.”

“No matter what, I don’t think it’s going to change just because a few bad guys got involved.”

“Otherwise, a being like damn Solomon could have been born.”

Solomon.

The opponent and sealer of all evil.

And… a person who is said to have realized the essence of mana and magic.

What if, as the old devil said, a being like Solomon has appeared?

Things could get quite complicated.

In the end, the most powerful force he can mobilize are demons, and for those demons, a being who can be called their opposite or natural enemy has appeared.

‘What more…’

It would have been difficult to lose any more demons than this.

King Solomon’s Ring, which he had obtained with difficulty, was as unstable as the weight of the years that had passed, and so even he, the user and owner, did not know when the seal on the ring would be broken.

Wouldn’t it be a good thing if the ring’s seal was broken?

Absolutely not.

In the first place, the reason the beings called devils cooperated with his plan when they were mere humans was not only because of the reward he promised, but also because of the ring.

But the ring gets damaged?

The old devil right in front of him will try to take his life.

No, before that happens, your entire body will be torn to pieces by the uncooperative demons who have come out of the ring and hate humans with extreme hatred, and you will die.

The world will become hell because of the demons that came out like that.

Therefore, even if you use demons as pieces on the chess board, you need to be careful… Perhaps an entity that may be the demon’s natural enemy may have appeared.

Is it really my mood that makes this feel like one huge flow?

Anyway… in the midst of this, if there’s one thing I can be sure of…

“If a being like King Solomon of the past has really been born, then what should we do first, putting everything else aside? ”

The problem is, who is that?

“First, we should look at Europe. If such a being was truly born, it is highly likely that it was a member of the 1st Magic Army or that it accompanied them and headed to Europe.”

“Hmm, not a bad decision.”

“In that sense, assistance is needed.”

“Assistance? You mean my help?”

“Yes, could you please move the corpses that have been spread all over Europe?”

“Indeed… I’ll give it a big shake first and then see how it goes.”

There is an Asian proverb that says, “It’s a bad thing.”

There’s a saying that says that an awl is bound to pierce a pocket… What if we shake up Europe one more time and confuse it?

The Magic Tower Alliance will move its troops immediately to calm the chaos that has arisen.

And the one who stands out the most in the process of getting there.

That guy must be the culprit.

‘He killed two demons…’

He will die at the hands of humans, not demons.

Because he will make it happen.

While someone was making a fuss like that, the group, including Su-hyeon, had returned to New Chengdu City after being seen off by the Tang family military unit, which had decided to remain at the terminal on the Hanoi side for a while.

“Wow…!”

The way back was the worst.

The reason why we had no choice but to head to Hanoi was resolved, but the motion sickness caused by the teleportation magic was still there.

“Well… How can this not work?”

That was why I asked that question to Helena, who seemed to have awakened to enlightenment.

When I think of the completely different aspects that Helena showed in battle, I thought that perhaps she might have a way, so I acted like that… but seeing as Helena’s face has also turned pale, it seems right to give up my expectations early on. did.

“But isn’t it less than before?”

Well, that’s true.

When Helena fell into Hanoi through the makeshift magic circle, I was so dizzy that it felt like my head was going to explode, and it was impossible to even open my mouth like this.

The moment I opened my mouth even a little, it felt like something would come pouring out of it, but how could I open my mouth?

It must have been a moment when I was trying to shake off the symptoms of motion sickness by talking to others.

I thought things were getting a little noisy around me…

“I’m glad everyone seems to be safe.”

Due to the sudden appearance of the blue wind, Tang Soso, who had been left alone at the terminal here in New Chengdu City, suddenly appeared in front of us.

“···Really.”

With a comment that somehow feels meaningful.
